Summary:

This book is the first published collection of papers written by members of the British Psychoanalytic Association (BPA), a new society of the International Psychoanalytical Association. Focusing on transference and countertransference, the BPA-affiliated editors and contributors present nine chapters representing diverse theoretical orientations: contemporary Freudian, Kleinian, and independent. Following an introduction to these foundational concepts, the analysts discuss through clinical illustrations "reconstruction [of the past] within transference," its erotic nature, working with highly disturbed patients, integration of ambivalent feelings toward the analyst, and "analytic survival" (per Winnicott).
